The human skeleton is uniquely shaped for a lifetime of walking upright on two legs, and this reflects in the skeleton’s S-shaped spine, upright pelvis, long leg bones, and arched feet. Our early primate ancestors abandoned their tree-bound lifestyle to start running and chasing game across the plains of Africa, and this, combined with consuming more protein, helped shape humanity into what it is today. Walking upright gave early humans a number of advantages, though even today, walking like this comes at a cost. The spine is acutely fighting gravity, and the body weighs heavily on the hips, knees, and ankles. Around the world today, countless people live in chronic pain in their back, knees, and ankles, but fortunately, there are many ways to counteract this. Chiropractic adjusting instruments and rehab tools in the hands of a professional can help, along with massages or physical therapy in a hospital.
